I'll remember his graceful civility when he lied to the UN about WMDs which later led to 1 million plus dead in Iraq.
We should never forget how he had the courage to censor and silence the whistleblowers in his unit after they sexually assaulted and murdered 500+ Vietnamese civilians in the My Lai Massacre.
The division put him directly in charge of the cover up, it's probably how he first got noticed as a guy who will say whatever he's told to.
I 100% believe you but do you happen to have a source? I think today is gonna be the day I finally get booted from a group chat because of this
rifled through some quick links in google, and it looks even the mainstream retrospectives mention it.

"In the first, he was assigned to investigate the 1968 U.S. massacre at My Lai and found no wrongdoing."
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-33957894
"He was assigned to investigate a letter from a serving soldier that reinforced allegations of a massacre at My Lai in March 1968, in which US soldiers killed hundreds of civilians, including children.
Powell's conclusion, that "in direct refutation of this portrayal, relations between American soldiers and the Vietnamese people are excellent", flew in the face of growing evidence of brutal treatment of civilians by US forces.
He was later accused of "whitewashing" the news of the massacre, details of which did not finally become public until 1970."
War Criminals, every fucking one of these assholes.
Even (especially) Biden, who in the 2000s deliberately tried to bury the No Gun Ri massacre in Korea where the US opened fire on any and all refugees fleeing the combat zone with artillery and CAS.
I have never heard of No Gun Ri, do you have any further reading?
These guys are libs (albiet fairly pro China libs run by Kevin Rudd) but give some context if you can cope with the brainworms
https://asiasociety.org/education/massacre-nogun-ri
The wiki page goes into the whole thing fairly well, at least for Wikipedia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Gun_Ri_massacre (cw: violence, war crimes, premeditated crimes against humanity described in detail)
Some key quotes, sparing the nightmare fuel.
Major General William B. Kean of the neighbouring 25th Infantry Division advised that any civilians found in areas supposed to be cleared by police should be considered enemies and "treated accordingly", an order relayed by his staff as "considered as unfriendly and shot"
Researchers found that the U.S. review had not disclosed the existence of U.S. Air Force mission reports during this period documenting the strafing of apparent refugee groups and air strikes in the No Gun Ri vicinity.
After the Army issued its report, it was learned that it also had not disclosed its researchers' discovery of at least 14 additional declassified documents showing high-ranking commanders ordering or authorizing the shooting of refugees in the Korean War's early months, such as communications from 1st Cavalry Division commander Gay and a top division officer to consider refugees north of the front line "fair game" and to "shoot all refugees coming across river"
In 2005, American historian Sahr Conway-Lanz reported his discovery of a declassified document at the National Archives in which the United States Ambassador to Korea in 1950, John J. Muccio, notified the State Department on the day the No Gun Ri killings began that the U.S. military, fearing infiltrators, had adopted a policy of shooting South Korean refugee groups that approached U.S. lines despite warning shots. Pressed by the South Korean government, the Pentagon eventually acknowledged it deliberately omitted the Muccio letter from its 2001 report.
By 2009, the commission's work of collating declassified U.S. military documents with survivors' accounts confirmed eight representative cases of what it found were wrongful U.S. killings of hundreds of South Korean civilians, including refugees crowded into a cave attacked with napalm bombs, and those at a shoreline refugee encampment deliberately shelled by a U.S. warship.
The commission alleged that the U.S. military repeatedly conducted indiscriminate attacks, failing to distinguish between combatants and non-combatants. In its most significant finding, the commission also confirmed that South Korean authorities had summarily executed thousands of suspected leftists in South Korea – possibly 100,000 to 200,000 – in the Bodo League massacre at the outbreak of the war, sometimes with U.S. Army officers present and taking photographs.
And finally
The disclosure in 2006 that Pentagon investigators had omitted the Muccio letter from their final report, along with other incriminating documents and testimony, prompted more calls for action. Two leaders of the National Assembly appealed to U.S. Senator (and future president) Joseph R. Biden, chairman of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, for a joint investigation, but no U.S. congressional body ever took up the No Gun Ri issue.
Also lied about his knowledge of Iran-Contra(revolutionary), even though it was proven he read secret documents about it, saying under oath in 1987 "To my recollection, I don't have a recollection."
On CNN just now they said the fact that he later admitted he was wrong made him the ultimate leader
He must've been trying to break the previous Secretary of State's record of 500,000 dead Iraqis.
Asked in 2011 how he would define the characteristics of effective leadership, Colin Powell answered: "Trust."

Lol - oh I'm sorry neowibrals, are we doing an incivility celebrating the death of a war criminal? Is it verwy wude of us to express glee that the person instrumental to hundreds of thousands if not millions of civilian deaths is dead himself?
God I wish someone would shove those nerds in a locker.
it's millions. roughly 2 million in Iraq
*bush killed between 1.5 million and 3.4 million iraqis because saddam tried to sell oil for euros instead of dollars, which threatened the dollar's status as the global reserve currency. fuck your civility, /r/neoliberal lurkers. fuck the putrid stench of your moral cowardice and your giggling, above-it-all, performative pseudo-nuance. there's no fucking nuance. nuance 2 million dead civilians back to life you fucking scum. I hope covid comes for you next.
Wtf is this. It's not like we're on Reddit doing this so why are they complaining? Do they constantly monitor this place. Do we live in their head rent free?
It's a good and easy design and you can choose different color palettes. And you get to use fake gold for free.
Here, you can have this: :gold-communist:
Holy shit, we're finally getting libs angry at us with our celebration posts again. I'm so happy :quokka-smile:
Hey you fucking nerds, Powell is dead because you're too scared to push the federal intervention button. Maybe if you didn't defend a shit mode of production and a shit ideology he would still be alive. Because the government would have intervened to keep the infections down and had us vaccinated a long time ago. The even funnier part is that he had access to all the good healthcare stuff that we don't, and it didn't save him. Because as long as you don't give a fuck about poor people, and keep acting like it's personal responsibility, then no amount of healthcare will save them.
Lmao vlad’s profile has a bunch of hexbear stuff in it. Which one you motherfuckers did this?
why do they like him..? even they don't like the Iraq war, but they seem to really love this guy?
Many neoliberals love the Iraq War, because it's worth killing a million people if Iraq's GDP goes up 2% or something. Fucking psychos.
outrage bait
If they get outraged at people celebrating his death, that says more about them than us.
I busted out laughing in class and my teacher asked what’s up and I said Colin Powell is dead from covid and is burning in hell now haha
Brave US soilder invades hell by themselves to search for Iraqs WMD's
Got banned from r/army for celebrating the death
“There is a time and place. This is neither”
Lol. Lmao
Just got muted for saying it is the time and place lmao.
There is a time and place.
What is we put his face on a deck of playing cards? Then can we celebrate?
If you did that you would 100% investigated by the FBI and secret service maybe
Please do not celebrate his death, advocate for the death of others, or encourage violence.
Maybe it was because you wanted to invade Iraq :thonk:
Reddit when 99.9% of black people die: "He was no angel."
Reddit when a neoliberal war criminal dies: "Wet's show some wespect. This pewson had a famiwy."
Please, do not celebrate his death. Advocate for the death of others or encourage violence.
R*ddit from a different timeline.
I have an account to burn on Reddit when Kissinger dies.
Everyone should go make an account for that now.
The news outlets have probably had obituaries prepared and ready for his death since the 80s and yet his decaying husk lives on. He will outlive us all.
Holy shit. LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
Can COVID get some white conservatives too
:powercry-1:
👉 👈
:lets-fucking-go: :POG-19:
Fr though was he vaxxed? Even bigger congrats to covid
apparently he had white blood cell cancer. would have got him at some point if covid didn't. kinda a shame that he got the relative comfort of a covid death instead of suffering in misery for a long time with cancer.
he got the relative comfort of a covid death
Choking to death is a nice way to go, for an evil fuck like him.
I'd rather die of MM than Covid, personally. You're not getting a lot of palliative care when your organs are being blown apart by the drugs they're giving you to keep you breathing
I'd say so. I just scrolled through a list of celebrities who got got, and the only people I've heard of were Tom Dempsey (held record for the longest field goal for quite awhile), Tom Seaver, and one of the dudes from Sigfried and Roy.

At least he lived to see his baby war killed by this rotting dipshit :dem:
Started his career covering up for the My Lai massacre and ended up dying of one of the most painful cancers plus covid at the same time.
There might be a Santa Claus after all.
AHAHAHAHAHA IT WAS COVID IT WAS COVID :covid-cool: :corona: :corona-and-lime: :corona-whitehouse:
He was vaccinated but also had a compromised immune system from cancer
lol the headline on twitter and NYT include the phrase "His family say he was vaccinated." They are egging the chuds on
So let me get this straight. This piece of shit was a soldier, he saw the horrors of war as his country was getting owned in Vietnam, but still decided to justify for the same things that horrorized him, to work for the war criminals of Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney... to become one of them.
This is when I stop being an Atheist and become a Christian, so that I hope Hell and the Devil himself take good care of this war criminal, near-genocidal piece of shit. I hope both Cheney and Bush die on the same fucking day.

First Rumsfeld and now Powell, pretty fucking good months behind us on this term.
